OVERHEATING AND DAMAGE TO THE BATTERIES MAY RESULT IF THE
CHARGER DOES NOT TURN OFF.
•
INSTALL SURGE ARRESTORS IN INCOMING AC POWER LINES. SURGE ARRESTORS
WILL HELP PROTECT ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN THE CHARGER AND
ON THE VEHICLE FROM ALL BUT DIRECT OR VERY CLOSE LIGHTNING STRIKES.
Each electric vehicle is supplied with a fully automatic battery charger as standard
equipment. The AC cord to each charger is to be connected to a source capable of
supplying 10 amperes minimum per charger.
The battery charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The
charger is equipped with an AC electric cord having an equipment-ground conductor and
grounding type plug. The plug must be grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and all local codes and ordinances. See the owner’s
manual supplied with the charger for specific operating instructions before using the
charger.
The use of an extension cord with the charger should be avoided. If an extension cord
must be used, a three conductor No.12 AWG heavy-duty cord with a ground conductor in
good electrical condition must be used. Keep it a short as possible (no more than twelve
feet (3.7 m)). Locate all cords so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subject to damage or stress.
Ventilation fans should be located at the highest point in the room and must be capable
of changing the total volume of air in the room five (5) times per hour. Consult a local
HVAC engineer.
To Charge Batteries
•
BE SURE ALL WIRE CONNECTIONS AT THE RECEPTACLE AND THE FUSE LINK
ARE CLEAN AND TIGHT.
•
DO NOT ROCK OR BEND THE PLUG. TO CONNECT THE CHARGER PLUG TO
THE VEHICLE RECEPTACLE, GRASP THE PLUG HANDLE AND PUSH THE PLUG
STRAIGHT INTO THE RECEPTACLE. (Figure 7).
•
DO NOT PUSH ON THE DC CORD (Figure 8). DO NOT TWIST, ROCK OR BEND
THE PLUG. TO DISCONNECT THE CHARGER PLUG FROM THE VEHICLE
